POST
Centrelink Card
Verify an Australian Centrelink concession card against the Services Australia record. Submit the customer name as printed on the card, the customer reference number (CRN), the card type, and the card expiry. Card types include the Pensioner Concession Card, Health Care Card, and Commonwealth Seniors Health Card.

Reading the result

Check data.isValid to determine whether the submitted details match the issuing agency’s records. A no-match still returns HTTP 200 with success: true — see Introduction to Australia DVS for how to interpret verificationStatus.
